Snapshot schedule change in version 8 firmware
Since updating to 8.0.4, I've been getting the following emails every day at midnight which come from the array itself:
---
event: 8.3.65
time: Thu Sep 3 00:00:00 2015
Free space is below threshold of 15 percent for pool HybridPool. Default Snapshot Schedule will run with max-keep set to 1.
---
I don't have any snapshot schedules defined (never have). Looking in the eql logs, I see it says it scanned X number of volumes and 0 snapshots taken.
Is there a way to stop this new default schedule? I can't find it defined anywhere or even place to stop these emails.
Thanks

Hi Don,
My snapshot reserve is already set to 0 for all my volumes so I guess the less than 15% free space triggers a false alert about a warning for an a snapshot event which isn't supposed to happen because my reserve is zero.
I've disabled the default schedule in the CLI and will monitor overnight to see if the message stops.
Thanks

When slightly with this solution except I change the threshold to 10% because my SAN have been set with around 11% to 12% of remaining space. It is set like that since the beginning around 3 years ago.

Where on the Equallogic did you change the threshold? I've been looking, but cannot find the specific location where 15% is defined.
Thanks.
